3 Minutes
25 chains, some locks and a rope, a lead lined chest and a sliver of hope….
I’ve done it before, I’ve done it before, in time and with zeal, I’ll do it again!
Most think it’s a hoax, but it’s painfully real; now comes the plunge, through the bubbling water….
They think I am lost, like a lamb to the slaughter! Three minutes I have to break free of the bonds…the silence awaits me, pushing me hard, pushing me hard to the bottom.
Tight lungs I cannot contract! My pain is part of the act.
My mind is still as the lock is opened; a spiritual freedom that takes only seconds, only seconds….
Three minutes I have, 3 minutes I have, 3 minutes I have to unlock my chains…..3 minutes I have, 3 minutes I have, 3 minutes I have to unlock my chains and get to freedom!
I surface, to meet the applause that beckons – clap,clap,clap,clap,clap,clap,clap….
It’s better to breathe; it’s better to breathe and dive again another time.
It’s better to breathe; it’s better to breathe and dive again another time – listen to the waves lapping against the sides!
Be careful of the hubris that kills you; be careful of the hubris that will kill you; be careful of the hubris will kill you; be careful of the hubris that will kill you!!!!
It’s better to breathe, it’s better to breathe and dive again another time,
It’s better to breathe, it’s better to breathe and dive again another time…..

BABAL England, UK
One speaks and a thousand misunderstand
where millions are silent and a thunderous applause erupts
where chatter
overwhelms humility and gossip destroys worlds
the tongues wag, the ears flap and the mind creates a wall
everything has been said but no one has understood
talking with conviction and concluding that knowledge is easy and effects a multitude of expanding smokescreens around truth
